Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
This is Eva Cassidy's one and only solo studio album. Before her untimely death in 1996 she made a live album (Live At Blues Alley) and a duet album with Chuck Brown (The Other Side), and these, together with the posthumous compilation Songbird, represent the sum total of her output. Every album, every track is therefore doubly precious. For Eva Cassidy's voice is of the very rarest hue: the kind of voice that only comes along once in a generation, the kind of voice that grabs your heartstrings and just won't let go. Whether she is singing blues and jazz numbers, evergreen standards or folk ballads, her vocal expression, her range, note-perfect accuracy and sense of passionate immersion in the music are all palpable. If there's a problem it's that she is so supremely confident an interpreter of all these styles that the album lacks a single focus: Fleetwood Mac's touching ballad "Songbird" is bookended by the Arlen/Mercer standard "Blues In The Night" (a swinging blues) and "Need Your Love So Bad" (a duet with jazzman Chuck Brown). Sometimes Eva is Aretha Franklin, sometimes she's Sandy Denny. But it scarcely matters for anyone captivated by her voice. And anyone who listens to this album is certain to be captivated. --Mark Walker

Poor recording (re-mastering),
By D. Buruma (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eva By Heart (Audio CD)
I totally agree with R. Scott Richter, but i think it`s the recording (or better re-mastering) who makes this album sound bad, i have more albums of other singers who are RE-MASTERED and they all sounded bad in comparing with the original, this is my first album from Eva Cassidy, so i can not compare it with the original recordings.The music though is very good, so the two stars are just for the quality of the recording (re-mastering).
5.0 out of 5 stars
absolutely wonderful,
This review is from: Eva By Heart (Audio CD)
one of the few times i've known that i would love a cd from the first note was quite recently when i stumbled upon miss eva. her voice alone is reason enough to buy this record, but once the melody and lyrics hit you, you know it's one of those records that is going to blow you away everytime you hear it.
